Former NFL star Kordell Stewart opened up about ex-wife Porsha Williams and the gay rumors that has followed him for years. Back in 1998, a friend called Stewart and told him that he heard that he had been arrested in Pittsburgh for having “lewd acts” performed on him by a transsexual.

In an recent interview , he said about Porsha, “You know, I loved my ex-wife. That’s old and that’s over with. You know, I have a 13-year-old kid to raise.”

On their divorce, he said, “She came in with a tough situation and then she came out with the Atlanta Housewives show, with making five to six figures, something more than she’s ever had. So when people say ‘I ran her off’–‘she left with nothing’– she left with a lot.”

On whether he regrets being on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, he said, “No, I really don’t , because you know what I’ve seen of my ex as of lately, conducting herself, just imagine if we was together for five more years with two children. That wouldn’t have been good.”

On the gay rumors, he said, “First of all, when in the world have I gone to jail in Pittsburgh, because there’s no record. I don’t care if it’s 10, 20, 30 years [ago]. If it happened, it would be documented, let alone, being with a transvestite. Now, each is own . Trust me when I tell you, but the life I started and live with my family…the thing I understood about life, is when God created the heaven and earth, he created Adam and Eve. That’s all I know. I don’t know anything else.”
